I think this superhero and villain alignment chart is particularly good. It takes the old school Dungeons and Dragons alignment scale and uses heroes and villains to populate it. The rest is that old D&D geeks get a kick out of the retro chic and the newer native geeks get an easy way to see […]
Superheroes Articles
Delve into our stories on Superheroes. This collection covers topics in Tabletop & RPGs, Movies, and Music.
A superpower movie with a twist: Chronicle
This is the trailer for Chronicle, a superpower movie with a twist. Directed by Joshua Tank and staring Dane DeHaan, Michael B. Jordan, Alex Russell and Michael Kelly it is a movie about three high school students that stumble into superpowers. High school kids with superpowers. What do you think happens next?
X-Men Born This Way
This is a pretty funky song that the X-Men: First Class movie inspired. I’m told it’s a parody of a piece of music produced by a “Lady Gaga”. If true I have to wonder whether she’s a superhero too; has the name to match. I wonder what her powers might be? Kudos to Ryan from […]
RC Superhero with VTL
I’ve flown a kite but never was bitten by the RC bug. It seemed like an expensive and awkward hobby. I live in Scotland in a city surrounded by hills. It would be a challenge to wait for good flying conditions and then a battle not to crash the expensive little helicopter model into the […]
One for the ladies – How to be a superhero in bed
I’m pretty sure this post may appeal to male geeks just as much as it does to fashionwise female geeks. I’ll count that as a win-win as we explore this superheroic range of PJs from Spencers Online and Marvel. Which is your favourite? She Hulk Spider-Girl Black Widow American Dream Emma Frost
Wolverine or two Batmen?
Ah! Optical illusions are ace. Optical illusions that feature Wolverine are ace. Optical illusions that feature two Batmen are twice as ace. If the previous statements are true then how ace is this picture? Which do you see first? Wolverine or the two Batmen? Really? (via reddit.)
Golf Now – part of an anti superhero backlash?
Hmm. Not sure what’s going on with American TV ads or advertising agencies but there seems to be a bit of a superhero blacklash going on. Just a few weeks ago we had DirecTV poking superheroic fun and now Evolution Bureau are doing something very similar for their client Golf Now. Does anyone with any […]
Lazy Teenage Superheroes
Here’s a video going viral that deserves to be famous. It’s called Lazy Teenage Superheroes and they say it had a budget of $300. If that’s right then the effects they achieve are pretty awesome. Michael Ashton also gets mega cook points for creating this, directing, editting and making the special effects. Ashton doesn’t star […]
DirecTV is Kryptonite, says superhero bashing DirecTV ad
Okay, I get the ad – DirecTV is so cool that even superheroes would rather watch it than fight crime. Clever, huh? No. Not for this geek. This ad just tells me that DirecTV is something the world would be better off without. DirecTV is something we need to overcome, something we need to fear […]
Raven on The CW
The CW is the American TV channel that’s responsible for the likes of Supernatural and Smallville. As Smallville comes a close we’re speculating on what might replace the series. Variety think another DC hero might be in the line up. Surprisingly, it’s Raven. I, like so many other geeks, first encountered Raven during her stint […]
